Through the Bible in one year notes
Jan 5, 2004 Job 6 - 9

Job 6
v. 1 - 30
Job replies to Eliphaz: He proclaims that he does not know why God has done this to him. And he wishes that God would crush him, even thinks God would take delight in it. And you who have to comfort me, comfort me do not blame me. Teach me where I am wrong if you will, but do not blame me falsely.

Job 7
v. 1- 21
Job continues: Man on earth is like the servant man who seeks out shade when he should be working or a hired man looking for his wages. I have had my time, it is done, I seek the shade, the death would be like a payment. My days go by so fast and seem to be hopeless. He then asks God how long it will be before God does not pay attention to him, till he can live in peace.

Job 8
v. 1 - 22
Bildad makes his reply to Job: Look Job, God puishes the sinfull and blesses the righteous. Just like a plant will wither when cut off, so will man when he cuts himself off from God. So is the way of God Job.

Job 9
v. 1 - 35
Job replies back again: Look, I know I am innocent of anything that God can try to blame me for. God is so strong, how can I stand up to Him? I despise this life of mine. God allows the wicked to have the earth. God is not a man. I cannot have my day in court with him, there is no mediator with him. Take the rod of pain away from me God! I wish to speak without fear of more pain.
